Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Biopsy Techniques

Background:

  • Accurate needle guidance is crucial for effective breast mass biopsy.
  • Ghost imaging offers potential for enhanced visualization in interventional procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the precision of ghost magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for guiding core biopsies.
  • To assess the accuracy of this technique in a simulated breast mass model.

Main Methods:

  • A tissue phantom with grape targets was used in an interventional breast MR coil.
  • Ghost MR images were created to record target locations.
  • A nonmagnetic phantom needle determined needle tip position for accurate guidance.

Main Results:

  • All simulated masses (grapes) were successfully targeted by the biopsy needle.
  • 85% of biopsies were accurately centered, with 15% deviating slightly.
  • Each biopsy procedure took approximately one hour.

Conclusions:

  • Ghost MR imaging demonstrates high accuracy for guiding core biopsies and preoperative localization.
  • The technique extends the visibility window after contrast injection.
  • Using a phantom needle mitigates issues with magnetic field inhomogeneity.
